On behalf of the DeLoach Family,

It is with an unbearable weight in my heart that I share some truly devastating news regarding a tragic loss within our family. On Friday, October 17, 2025 we lost my nephew Bobby Darren DeLoach Jr. at the age of 33 years old. He was tragically murdered at the hands of Mario Jackson. My brother Bobby Sr., Gracie and his mother LaVonda, are understandably devastated by the loss of their son.

We are reaching out for any assistance possible during this difficult time. Bobby Darren DeLoach Jr. served in the United States Army in both Georgia and Alaska. He was currently residing in Anchorage, Alaska where he lost his life. We are working to transport my nephews body to Illinois to be laid to rest. With this sudden loss, we are unprepared for the signicant cost. His parents are battling with their grief, and any support we can provide to them will be extremely helpful. Bobby Darren DeLoach Jr. was such a good and kind-hearted person and a great father. He did not deserve this!

I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of support. We have received numerous messages and calls from loved ones, which are deeply appreciated during this tragic time. We will be sharing links on Facebook for direct contributions to my brother, should you wish to assist in that manner. Thank you so much, please keep our family in your prayers.
